Does mechanical weathering change a rocks chemicals?
No, not at all. Chemical weathering changes the molecular composition of minerals, but mechanical weathering only changes its shape or outward appearance.
Weathering of rocks is a physical or a chemical change?
yes
Is weathering of rocks physical change or chemical change?
it is actually chemistry because i have read in a book[ called go for science and technology which is the science text book for class v five in the school chettinad vidyashram] that rocks are made of chemicals.
What is chemical weathering?
Chemical weathering is the phenomenon which contributes to the destroying of rocks with chemical agents; the chemicals may be natural or man made.Examples are water, carbon dioxide, organic acids, acid rains etc.
Does chemical weathering cause a break down in the color and size of rocks?
Chemical weathering breaks down rocks
What is different between physical weathering and chemical weathering?
Physical weathering is breaking down of rocks by weather that does not change their chemical components. Chemical weathering is weathering that breaks rocks down by a chemical change.
Does mechanical weathering change a rocks chemicals?
No, not at all. Chemical weathering changes the molecular composition of minerals, but mechanical weathering only changes its shape or outward appearance.
What is the differences of chemical and mechanical weathering?
Mechanical weathering is the breaking down of rock without chemical reaction.Mechanical weathering is also when water gets into the cracks of the rocks and makes the rocks expand.Like ice wedging.while chemical weathering changes the rocks by chemicals.
What are some differences of physical weathering and chemical weathering?
Physical weathering is due to: rocks hitting other rocks causing them to break up from the action of frost and ice the action of wind or waves or running water the action of plants. Chemical weathering changes the composition of the rock and is due to: water dissolving minerals in the rock oxidation of metals in the rock
What does minerals and rocks combine with?
Minerals in Rocks combine with Chemicals in the air,Chemical Weathering takes place.
